Our story this term is ‘The Gingerbread Man’. We will retell the story of The Gingerbread Man which has plenty of repetition. We will learn lots of new words and during free flow, they will make their own gingerbread man books, story maps, lolly stick characters and paintings. We will look at other stories that have been adapted to different cultural versions e.g. The Runaway Chapatti. We will write simple instructions for making gingerbread.

Welcome to Willow Class! We are so excited to start the new academic year and can't wait to learn and have fun. We have lots to look forward to this term!

This term, our curriculum will have a start with a Personal and Social aspect 'What makes me special?' We will then move into a Understanding the world and Expressive arts focus looking at 'How do I make a healthy snack?'. 
 

In English, We will look at the traditional story 'The Little Red Hen'. We will learn this story using actions to help us retell it independently. We will focus on developing a Pincer (five finger) grasp/ tripod (three finger) grasp to gain more fine motor control and will start to use finger movements to make shapes and letters. 
 

Number

The first 2 weeks will be to get to know the children within our new class, develop routines and complete baseline assessments.

We will then start our first math's topic 'Match, sort and compare'. This will be done through daily adult-led activities within the continuous provision.
